Can you tell us a bit about your professional career so far?

I studied in London. I started studying fashion at Marangoni , then I switched to fine arts and communication at the University of the Arts in London.

I came back to Madrid, did internships at two galleries and at a data influencer company. Later I became self-employed and worked for several years until I started working at Zara as an online creative director for Zara shoes and bags. Then I left and set up on my own as a freelance creative director.

How did you decide you wanted to be a photographer?

I do it as a hobby. To this day, I don't consider myself a 100% photographer. What interests me is the creative direction. Create the ideas for the campaigns. The taking of photos is the consequence of the fact that in Spain the creative direction is not so well understood.

What is your greatest source of inspiration? a reference in your profession?

I would love to know that. It would save me a lot of research time.

I have lots of references, but most of them do very different things from mine, so they're not always a real inspiration.

What was your last job that made you dream?

The work I did for Mother's Day for Grassy . All the women in this family are super awesome and made it all so easy and vibrant.
